Link Dump Friday №25

Oh dear, where did the summer go to? Everyone's heading back to school, and I didn't get half the things I wanted to do done! I wanted to take a bike ride through the state park, and I wanted to have that water balloon fight with my friends. I also wanted to fill a kiddie pool with banana pudding and read through all of my Berenstain Bears books once more. Now I'm kinda sad. Maybe some delicious Link Dump Friday would cheer everyone up!

Red Wire - Retreat back to your days at the fair when you spent hundreds of dollars trying to win a stuffed animal by moving the wire loop around the maz--TZZZZD!!! Rats...

Pac Mondrian - Everything you enjoy about the classic arcade game, but with a modern art twist. A cultured experience for java.

Transmigration - A simple shmup where you play as a diver in th-- wait, no, you're a dragon flyin-- no, a skydiving robot who-- Aw, just play it.

Thor Towers - A simple one-button game using the [spacebar]. Build a tower by dropping blocks and without tipping over. Somewhat reminiscent of Eyezmaze's Vanilla game. Simple and fun.

Peace Plane - How long can you last against the attacking planes and ships, when your arsenal mostly consists of weapons made of feathers?

Where's an Egg? - Brush up on your Russian and give this detective search game a try. Pixels so thick, you have to chew it.

Give these games a shot and let us know what you think. Anything here worth a full review?

Red Wire is a really good game, even if it's a little hard and VERY FRUSTRATING. The only twist about it is that the maze moves, so you need to loop the ring around a moving mouse with no checkpoints.

Thor Towers kept my attention by half an hour, it's not very challenging but you always try again, thinking: "How did I miss that one? I'm sure I'm better than this!"

And finally, Transmigration is a game everyone should play: It's creative, has a good music, is just what you expect for a casual game and there's no how to lose. And, artbegotti, I think this game is about how anyone can get through any obstacles that appear in your life, even if it seems impossible, and how every creature is interlinked by a strong lace called "love". Or something like that.

Anyway, I've found a new game in Armor Games, "Ball Revamped V: Synergy". I think it deserves a review here, at JIG.

My only complaint about Thor Towers is the fact that it makes you watch the "Thor Gaming" screen again after you click "retry". Yes, I know about the "skip" button; that's not enough.

IMO, every game should show its "who made this" screen(s) exactly once (unless skipped, in which case, zero times), and after the initial presentation (or skip), they should never show it again, at least during the same session.

First, the Thor Towers link seems to be out of order. It won't load for me and trying to navigate to thorgaming.com doesn't work either.

Red wire: I don't really like using an imprecise tool (such as a mouse) to play a precision game like Red Wire.

PacMondrian: Great for art history buffs, such as myself, but thats a lot of pips to eat, and not much reward.

Transmigration:

So, the more mines you shoot, the better your karma, the more you are transmogrified and soon you will become a panther...only to suddenly "win" the game? Or, don't shoot anything, rack up a negative score...and the exact same ending awaits you. Not exactly a good lesson on reincarnation to say the least.

Peace Plane: Fun, simple and easy. Perfect casual game.

Wheres an Egg: I absolutely love Homestarrunner and their Videlectrix library is top-notch. Also, I like eggs.

Where's an egg is confusing at first, but the concept is really very easy. Simply find out who's telling the truth. Once you do, you know who has the egg.

Talk to people about the items or the other characters. If they connect a person with the item that person has next to them or the correct location of the person, then they are telling the truth. Go ahead. Ask them about the egg. You know you want to!

Transmigration isn't so much a game, as a music video that lets you press spacebar... nothing I did changed the game at all. Still, it's probably more interactive than a lot of those AAA titles.

What I really liked was "Gde Yeitzo?". Totally made me feel like a Soviet Commissar. The wanton, hardboiled murder, the nonsensical medals, the terrible, worthless MacGuffin all transported me back to the time and place where hamburger eat me.

To me, transmigration seems like half a game concept with interesting visuals and a soundtrack.

I don't think that it has anything to do with Karma, but it would be nice if my actions changed the path I took. The game should require me to move if I want to win, and I should be able to move in such a way that I can dodge the enemies (you have a really big bounding box sometimes).

Transmigration is teh dum. Whack the spacebar a bunch of times while the music is playing and eventually you get to the end - no challenge, no replay value.

Where's an egg? was pretty good once I got the hang of it - it took me a couple starts to figure out just what I was supposed to do (and I got nowhere at all the first time through since I just shot everyone I met, hahaha)

PacMondrian was...a Pac Man clone. /golf clap/

Red Wire: I did better on that than I ever did at the county fair. =)

The only one I couldn't try was Thor Towers. Apparently their website is down. Maybe the influx of JIG gamers was too much for their server?
